The Moto G 3rd gen recently released and is all set to be another hit for the company. More and more of us are heavy users of our devices, and battery life in a smartphone is something that is increasingly important to buyers.

You can take a look at our launch post on the new Moto G 2015, and recently we gave our Moto G 3rd gen vs. Lenovo K3 Note specs and price comparison. The phone is equipped with a 2470 mAh battery, and the fact that it’s non-removable makes it worthwhile considering the battery life before you make a purchase. Fone Arena has conducted its usual slew of new Moto G battery life testing, and this is split into four different categories. They are Talk Time, 3G Browsing, WiFi Browsing, and Video Playback.

The results are then compared with many other smartphones in a similar sector of the market. Just a few of these are the Moto E 2nd gen, Xiaomi Redmi 2, Micromax Unite 3, Lenovo A6000, Samsung Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5, and Yu Yuphoria. It’s often interesting to see how smartphones compare in one particular aspect, and this will give you a good idea of whether you should think about the Moto G 3rd gen as your next purchase.

In the Talk Time section the Moto G 3rd gen battery life lasted for 25 hours and 2 minutes. That put it in joint second position on the table (image immediately below) alongside the Coolpad Dazen 1, Redmi 2, and Lenovo A6000. Only the Moto E 2nd gen beat it, with a whopping first-place time of 33 hours and 19 minutes. Meanwhile the Yu Yuphoria was bottom of the table on just 8 hours and 20 minutes.
